Ages of male nursing students?

Nursing Students Male Students

Published

Of the 23 other students comprising the group that I entered nursing school with, three of them are men. The class that is graduating at the end of next week I believe has 1 male student, and as far as I know the class immediately behind mine has 1 as well. This is about 60 students (some classes have had students drop), with 6 of them being males; that's only 1 in 10.

So we know that male nurses are few and far between, but how old are we?

The 1 student in the class graduating next week is 28.

The 1 student in the class that entered the semester after mine is at least 30 (a second career-er I believe).

Of the 4 in my class, 2 are about 45, 1 is 40, and then there is me...21.

How old are you guys? How old when you started school?

Just curious.

Hey that's great news, congratz Ebouster!!

25, Will turn 26 on 8/9.

hmm..i started my college life last year..I was 16 yrs old..now Im in my 2nd year...

I'm 32, did pretty well on my Hesi A2 and have an interview with the Dean of Admissions on Wednesday... so I'm hoping to start nursing school soon.

I'm 31 going to be 32 in Sept. I think that alot of the Male that enter the nursing field are going to be older. I feel this way due to the sigma of it being a job only for woman. Most Men, like myself have tried our hands in other fields and due to reason out of our control have turn to Nursing. I dont look at this as being a second choice, I look at it more as the right choice. Looking back I wish I had done this so much sooner. I think that when i am all done with school, I am really going to enjoy my job.

Graduated from high school at 17...and started college right after..but ive been bouncing around between what i really wanted to do until i decided on becoming a CRNA....so im starting a 10 month lpn next month..ill be 23 in Nov....

I was 16 when I applied and declared my major and applied to college, 17 my freshman year in college, and then 20 when I started actual nursing classes.

I had a fairly large class size of about 200. Ages ranged from 19 to some in their 50s. probably 15 of those were guys and it seemed to me most of the other guys were youngin's like me

I'm 51 now, almost finished with my MSN. A big life change here.

I am 32 years old, and I'm starting my nursing program here in a week, and I'm very very nervous, yet very very exited. I've already been at my college for two years in a pre-nursing program chipping away at my BSN non-nursing general requirements, and have already completed some of program classes as well...and so far since I have returned as a "non-traditional" student I have maintained a 4.0 GPA...now I don't know how long this will remain, since classes promise to get a lot harder...but I will still do my best! I try to ignore the fact that I'm male in a female dominated major, and that I'm a little older than some of my other peers (but not all!)...and try to remember what I'm here for.

hello:

everybody:

this year I am 26,I decided to learn a nurse course in Austrialian,maybe

when I enter into the college I will be 27 I thought,and by the way finding a

suitable college is a very hard work for who is not local .I am now so pullzed

with choosing-the-college things as this I haven't any idea that how many girls and boys would be ,and how old they are,in my furture class:)but I wish there will be like a nice family.and I haven't browsed through all the post yet,maybe I

will find some things benifit to me.I thought no matter the age you are,if you have a passion to do some sth ,that will be great and that must be a new start for someone

I Think there is no relationship between age & practice

Good luck
